Default Best upgrades/mods/accessories

Just got the ceramic coating on my new macan s and looking to add few additional upgrades.
- The only thing I have added so far is the convertible cargo mat and really like it.
- Mine doesn't have the black sports exhaust tips, might add those in the near future.
- People recommend the clear side markers but I am not a big fan happy with the orange ones. I did it for my boxster and didn't see a big change.
- I also have the Black porsche license plate frame. Waiting for my license plates to arrive and I will install them together.

What else did you guys add to your macan or recommend to add?

I have ordered Zunsport grill screens to protect the radiators. These were fabulous on my 981 Boxster S and have no doubt they will be great protection on my Base Macan.

Forgot to mention that I ordered similar product. Looks pretty solid, haven't installed it yet. https://www.customcargrills.com/prod...iABEgIoBPD_BwE

I haven't installed it yet but fit and finish seem to be solid. It is solid bendable metal. Be aware that the advertised price doesn't include their shipping cost which is I think 16 bucks. I ordered through their ebay shop and total came down to 66 dollars. It is still cheaper than anything else out there (unless you DIY your own thing). Nice thing is that it a rubber frame which will reduce the risk of scratching anything. Mine arrived slightly bent in the middle, someone was not really careful with the package. I texted the company (on a Saturday afternoon). They immediately texted back and told me how sorry they are. They told me that the material can be easily bent back and if for any reasons I can't make it look the way I want it and I am unhappy, they will ship me a set of new ones without any extra cost. I tried to bend it back and I think it looks ok (not 100% sure though, I will know for sure when I install it). Anyways, because of this action, these guys already earned my full respect and I would highly recommend them. I will install it in the next days and report back. BTW, it looks 10 times better than the zunsport one. That one might be easier to install but when you look at their installed pictures it looks somehow off and not fully seated. The one I have is also significantly cheaper.

Put this on your hitch .. ie rather have someone parking and hit that when someone parking. Put some reflective yellow tape.
